Home!

We are home!!!  Harper was awake for 20 of the 24 hours that we were traveling but she was happy and playful.  We were all exhausted when we finally got home.  It was about 10pm, so we all went to sleep.  Staying awake for so long during travel may have helped with our jet lag.  We've been home for less than 24 hours, and Harper already seems to be adjusting to the new time zone.  China is 13 hours ahead of CST, so we basically had to flip flop her days and nights.  We slept until about 5am, then headed to Wal-Mart for milk, bread, formula, etc.
Harper is doing well with her car seat and even took a quick nap today when we went to drop off our recycling and go to the car wash.  She is loving her hew toys and really enjoys eating in her high chair!  She took her first steps (for us) in the Detroit airport.  We knew she could walk, because we had seen video of her doing it, but in China she always wanted to be carried.  She has been walking quite a bit since we got home!  I may not even need that new baby walker that I ordered from Amazon while we were in China!
We continue to be amazed by this baby girl!  We are in such awe that she could have lived through the losses she has already experienced, and come through it with such joy and happiness!  Her resilience is truly impressive.  We are beyond blessed to have her in our lives!
